Giveaway: AutoCAD Freestyle Design Tool

We’ve listed our favorite virtual room design tools and near the top of the list is the AutoCAD Freestyle. This software lets homeowners create accurate, professional-looking drawings that can be shared with contractors and even input into professional CAD programs that engineers work from. Whether you’re tearing down walls or just rearranging the living room, AutoCAD Freestyle puts the tools of the pros at your (tired) fingertips!
Instead of spending time and money drawing up your own plans by hand using one of the other free and clunky tools or paying for a designer that you might not need, the AutoCAD Freestyle allows you push your creativity to the limit.
Autodesk has provided me with five free copies of AutoCAD Freestyle to give away to some lucky readers this week! This tool will immediately take you to pro status on your renovation project du jour – no engineering degree required.HOW TO ENTER

It is useful in below workflows of project:
1. Drawings created in AutoCAD Freestyle can be opened in AutoCAD and other DWG-based applications for 2D visual communication between nontechnical and technical colleagues.
